Nope, after spraying the clear, I didnt even touch it for 7 days. First time around I tried wetsanding the day after spraying clear and it was a little hazy and the clearcoat didn't fully cure, as I noticed a few fingerprints stuck in the clearcoat from putting pressure on it.

When I waited 7 days, the clearcoat was still a little soft, and started with a heavier polish to remove the wetsand marks, then had to follow up with a very good polish that removes light haze (3M Ultrafina) on a soft finishing buffer pad at a low RPM on the rotary, and that did the trick.
